Abstract excerpt
Developmental expression of the Drosophila melanogaster metallothionein Mtn gene has been analysed. Transcripts of this gene accumulate during the vitellogenic phase of oogenesis in a ring of follicular cells at the oocyte-nurse cell margin and in the follicular cells surrounding the oocyte. There is also strong expression of the Mtn gene during the second half of embryogenesis in hemocytes, the endoderm midgut,...
